Leila Gharani. hi. i would like to know if its possible to create pie chart instead using the example in this clip. n lets say if i drop down a list in cell c2 (which contain the name). the selected name would "stand out" in the pie chart. i tried using the primary/seconday method as i will do for a line chart. but seems to me pie chart dun allow primary/seconday.

[@michaeldiamond2726]

Hi Leila,
Great video Leila. It really explain the chart mechanics. Is this part of your dashboard course? If it isn't I think it should be added.
